Brandt's pics July 2010

Brandt had his pictures done by Ashley Thomas (Aspen Blue Photography). They were supposed to take place in her studio since it was so hot outside but needless to say that wasn't happening--he wouldn't even let us put him down. So we had to move it outside and he seemed to be okay then. He is definitely in a stage where getting his picture isn't the easiest thing to do. But she did manage to get some awesome shots and I love them! I can't upload them to our computer so I can't post any :( But they are on my Facebook page so you can check them out there!

40 Years!!

This was my parents Wedding Day--July 18, 1970!!

My Aunt Debbie and I gave my parents a Surprise 40th Anniversary Party at Eduardo's on July 10, 2010. My aunt had actually called me and said, "you know its your parent's 40th anniversary right?" and I was like um...no...lol. I didnt even think about it! Sad I know. So she said she thought it would be nice if we did something for them and I agreed. They were definitely surprised! They thought Caleb, Brandt, and I were just taking them out to dinner but when they walked in they saw all thier friends there! Of course my mom cried..lol. It turned out awesome! Big thanks to Debbie for helping me with everything!

Fourth of July 2010

We went to the Merrill's Annual Firework Party for the Fourth of July this year. As usual it was awesome---the food, the fireworks, everything! Brandt had a blast just getting to run around. Its crazy to think about that last year at the party he was just 3 months old playing in his jumper--and what's even crazier than that is the year before that at the party was the day I found out I was pregnant with him. I know I say this all the time but its nuts how fast time flies. It never went this fast before I had a baby. Sometimes I want to freeze it! It definitely makes you think about how important it is to just stop and count your blessings because it's so easy to get caught up in everyday stressors and forget just how good you have it!
